This anthology contains nineteen of the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan classics arranged in easily sight-readable versions for beginning to intermediate classical guitarists. All the favorites are here, ranging from sentimental ballads such as Little Buttercup, Willow, Tit-Willow and There Grew a Little Flower, to more up-tempo patter type pieces such as Oh. A Private Buffoon, Kind Sir You Cannot Have the Heart and A Policemans Lot. The aim has been to provide both a useful teaching resource and a light-hearted alternative to the more serious music of the classical guitar repertoire. All the pieces lend themselves extremely well to the common idiomatic textures of the classical guitar. A variety of melody and accompaniment styles are employed, including block chords, arpeggio patterns and passages of double-stopped thirds and sixths. A number of the pieces are in easy first position format, while others explore the common higher positions. The standard guitar keys are utilized C, G, D, A, E but there are occasional more challenging temporary modulations to difficult keys, such as E flat major. There are also instances of drop-D tuning, which is often required in classical guitar playing.
